Early Bird One Minute: 5 May 2015 * RAILGUN, LASERS - Hill To Navy: Hurry Up On Rail Guns, Lasers By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr, Breaking Defense, 4 May 15 http://breakingdefense.com/2015/05/hill-to-navy-hurry-up-on-rail-gunslasers/ WASHINGTON: Rail gun bullets move seven times the speed of sound. Laser beams fire at the speed of light. But Pentagon procurement? Not so fast But with both Congress and the Navy Secretary expressing impatience, the

Navy is accelerating its efforts to move both lasers and rail guns from the test phase into the fleet. Congress agrees. Just hours before, the House Armed Services Committee had passed its draft of the annual defense policy bill that included: a provision that “directs the Secretary of the Navy to develop a plan for fielding electric weapon systems” meaning both lasers and rail guns, which rely on electric power rather than gunpowder “and to provide a briefing on the results of this plan to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2016.” DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A.

Approach Conduct basic research into new methods and techniques for development of measurement standards to support HEL DEW. Assess methods for HEL beam parameters measurements and calibration traceability based on current work and NIST discussions. The approach will be based on the requirements for HEL performance parameters identified in the HEL JTO’s “HEL Lethality Data Collection Standards” and by the Navy/DOD HEL community. Collaborators • • • Deliverables • • • • Documentation of tracking the evolution of DE Metrology Research work to identify the METCAL RDT&E support required by Navy Working with NIST, DoD agencies, Industry, and Academia for

mutually beneficial technical capabilities development Generated research topics (e.g, DEW Metrology, etc) for NPS graduate research, NEEC BAA, etc. as Navy requirements • NIST NSWCs (PHD, Dahlgren, etc.) HEL Industry (to establish measurement traceability to NIST, and to further evaluate NIST system’s capabilities) Academia (NREIP interns, Faculty sabbaticals, etc.) Navy Interest Establish the required measurement capabilities, standardization, traceability to SI units, etc. for the HEL DEW systems & subsystems DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A.

This phase of the project focused on the laboratory testing of pulsed 1064 nm linearly polarized energy on fresh water and on sea water. Various polarization

configurations and energy values and angles were taken into consideration. High Energy Laser weapons are being deployed on ships, but there is no data available for the potential of unintended laser reflection from the surface of the water. This NISE project was initiated to investigate these potentially dangerous reflections along with a CRADA with Envsioneering, Inc. and with the Naval Research Lab for collaboration. NRL performed calculations based on theoretical models for various conditions. Theory and reality do not always match so the goal of the modeling and the testing is to show how close they agree. Initial results indicate as predicted that the lowest angles of incidence and the horizontally oriented polarization resulted in the highest amount of reflection. The reflection from sea water for the 1064 nm wavelength was on average a few percent greater than that of the fresh water. The initial modeling data matched very closely with actual test data. Phase II of this

project will engage the CRADA which was finalized at the end of Phase I and will include the Readiness Assessment group for outdoor testing. Different types of lasers and conditions will be tested and the data gathered will help in the understanding of the dangers that may be associated with the inadvertent reflections of HEL weapons on the ocean surface.

Many NAVAIR and NAVSEA weapon and communications systems either do not take OL variations into consideration, or specify launch conditions based on different standards, resulting in measurements with less than the required accuracy. LED VCSEL LASER Approach

Deliverables * Develop knowledge, skills, and ability to address the impact of differing launch conditions on measurement accuracy, in order to provide the fleet with adequate calibration support for fiber optic power measurements and OL analysis. * Use of an optical launch condition analyzer and optical power meters to measure the impact of OL on measured power. • Expected collaborators • • • NIST DoD agencies Fiber Optic Industry • • Compare different OL standards for correlation and error analysis. Compare OL variations with near field, far field, encircled flux, and AS-100 specifications. Publish report of findings. Navy Interest The fiber optic communication backbones on Navy ships and aircraft require increasing level of calibration accuracy for fiber optic measurements to enable higher data rates and throughput.

Example Performance Assessment for HEL DEW T&E Problem The goal of the Solid State Laser Technical Maturation (SSL-TM) program of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) is the design and build of a Advanced Development Module (ADM) prototype laser weapon suitable for deployment on a US combatant and ready for testing at sea. NSWC Corona will need to be prepared to support assessment of laser weapons based on SSL-TM program. Approach Participate in the SSL-TM Program to learn how T&E of laser weapon systems will be carried out and what may be expected of NSWC Corona’s Performance Assessment Department to support T&E in a program of record. Deliverables Identify Laser Weapon Systems KPI and MOE and gaps in NSWC Corona’s analysis capabilities. Progress would be tied to SSL-TM program schedule. Collaborators • • NSWC, Port Hueneme NSWC, Dahlgren Navy Interest NSWC Corona’s Performance Assessment Department will have little time to prepare to support T&E of
